Arashi just released their latest single “I’ll be there” last April 19! The song is currently used as the theme song of the Fuji TV’s getus9 drama “Kizoku Tantei” starring Aiba Masaki as an aristocratic detective whose age, address, and family remains unknown. The cool, colorful and dynamic song links to the drama’s mysterious world.

I like I’ll be there but the pv could have been less dark and serious, the second part is nice though. Unknown is so good too!

It’s too bad it’s doing worse than Power of the Paradise, which was meh….i wonder if the announce of the double concert dvd just before the single release could be a cause, they are pretty expensive. Or they could just be declining in sales but it was kinda sudden.

How much are they declining in sales?

Not that much from the last single (that came with almost no promotion though), but it may not hit 400,000 for first week. It’s still a lot lol but for Arashi standards and with a drama tie-in it’s a bit low.

How much was their usual 1st week sale for a single with a member starring drama tie-in?

Jun and the av actress was last year’s news. Jun said he didn’t know the woman but its a Bunshun scoop so most believe there’s some truth to it. Imo, even Bunshun have gotten it wrong before.

Nino & Ayako are probably still together. Ayako resigned from her biggest regular announcer job @ ntv newsevery, most say it was due to pressure being harassed by ninostans complains to the show and online.

Oooh! Thank you very much! I’m really wishing for a wedding news soon, and that it will go over smoothly even with crazy fans. :P

Usually their first single of the year will get around 480k-500+k in 1st week. They’ve been consistent within that figure for years. They are likely to only sell below 400k on debut week + dvd and that’s rare.

too serious and dark (like really the resting bitch faces at the beginning just made LOL) for a jazzy song but the latter, dorky parts are greatly appreciated
another solid single from them, i like all the songs especially “unknown” – which could have been great as a title track instead
it’s just a bit frustrating that it isn’t doing so well sales wise compared to the boring Pawapara

I like Unknown more than this single.

Jun looks so handsome, it’s crazy! Lucky dude is aging really well.
I like the single a lot, more than most of the releases from last year.

It’s been a long while for me. Why is Nino less handsome than i remember him to be? Lol
